A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY Tha Story of a Woman's Transformation BY MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 48 AN UGLY SUSPICION. I gave up trying to convince Esther after a time that I did not want to have anything to do with Mark Upjohn. She had a curious mind, this fciMer-in-law of mine. Once an idea was fixed in her head, it was practically impossible to get it out again. , She knew that 13 years or more ago I had liked Mark. I was not sure then

ihat I" ever had liked him. I think I was in love with love, not with the j

man the case with most young girls

had written but once since we came home, one letter in two weeks, . ."I got this." She held out a picture postcard to me. It was nothing but a view of the boardwalk at Coney. Under the picture was a little space for writing, and on it was written in small, easily read letters: "Sorry you prefer the pastoral scenes to the briny deep. The bunch Toots, Bud, and self are here for the day." And it was signed "Pete." I looked at Violet questioningly. "But I thought "I began. "I know," she interrupted. "He

I don't looted that I was broken-hearted ! want to take him from his friends, but htn Mark went away and married, we know Pete is not a good companion and that I must be overjoyed when he for him. He hasn't told me he has canne back again, looking for a second been going about with him."

If she only knew! It was not that I disliked Mark. No woman thoroughly dislikes any man. who is in Jove with her. She may not love him, she may not approve of him, but she will never be completely indifferent. Perhaps It lit the egoiist in all of us. We at least approve of the man for having the good sense to see our destrable qualities. But I never saw Mark these summer days, or thought ofhim, without having another image come before my eyes another man Mark's age, more tuccesiful than Mark, who had other qualities. This man was Francis Meade, Bud's employer, who that one evening had explored our end of the town with us and ended by stretching himself out in our mast comfortable chair and smoking a long cigar while Vi and I made coffee. I remember he said he made it a point to know all his employees personally, even to his office boys, and when he found real ability in any one of them, to push the boy as hard as he could to give him a start in business. Mark had said something like that but in what a different way! He was taking what he considered a kindly interest in his nephew Billy but Billy's family were afraid to contradict him for fear he would withdraw his favor, which he made them feel every day: As for Billy, he frequently worked 14 hours out of the 24, for Mark. And there was the physical difference, too. Mark at 40 was fat and settled, his hair was thin, worn out in spots, and rolls of flesh spoiled the outline of his face, no malter what angle you looked. Francis Meade at 40 was tall and slim and well knit; he said he played tennis in odd moments and that he spent mans; evenings at sn athletic club keeping himself fit. But of course I could not tell Esther this. I was not even conscious of it aM myself. I simply knew that the only sort of man I ever could like would be a man of Francis Meade's tvpr never one like Mark.. .'Them as can't get. what they want, shr-uld take what they can get," Esther remarked very ungrammatically in answt to some such thought of mine. "If I can't have what I want, I'd rather do without," T answered. "Yes," she said, "you always was a tool, Enid." And seeming to feel at rest about me now. she went on about some work, and left me alone in the room. And she was at. rest in her mind, too. For we had worried the family a great oeal when we came back. We were c'ifferent, yet. they could not exactly find the difference. For even when we dressed in the badly made clothes that we had owned for years, and worked until we were thoroughly tired out even then, there was a difference. After a time, I began to realize what this difference was. But as Esther left the room. Violet came in. I had seen her standing out at the gate, broom in hand and her damp hair blowing off her forehead,

talking to Billy Diggs. Violet was one; of the few girls who could look charm-1 ing under any circumstances. She had j been scrubbing the porch, and has her, skirt lied up over a bright petticoat, i and she looked a little like the statues j of Dresden china shepherdesses, with ; her broom for the shepherdess crook, i Billy, delivering groceries, showed ! little desire to drive on. j "Billy brought us some mail on his ; way past the post office." she said, j "This looks like a letter for you from' Helen." j ' Did you get mail?" I asked. Bud j

I tried to say "Well, he will in your

next letter." But I was not sure of it. An ugly little suspicion was in both our minds. Suppose Bud was not going as straight as he might! t Monday Preparations

ELINOR GLYN MEETS HER IDEAL HEROINE

I Heart Problems ( i Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 20 years old, considered very good-looking and am well liked by most young men. There is only one, however, whose attentions I desire. I have known him all my life and love him dearly, but

he does not seem to care for me. How j can I win his affection, for without it I

I can never be happy. DORIS ALICE. It is so ordained by the-nature of

things that the man does the pursuing, i

When a girl breaks this rule she subjects herself to unfavorable comment and usually compromises herself in the eyes of the young man she particularly desires. You can be happy with what comes to you naturally. It is foolish to ideal

person embodies your ideols.

would be disappointed if you could have the young man as your sweetheart. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last summer I went visiting and while I was away I met a young man whom I liked very much. After I came home he wrote to me four different times. I answered all of his letters, but the last time I wrote I received no answer. Shall I write again or forget him? He told my friend that he cared very much for me. Do you think he does ?

SEAL SALE IN COUNTY PROVES SUCCESSFUL

I return them? TROUBLED. It seems to be "out of sight, out of mind" with the young man. Do not write again unless he answers your last letter. Since he shows by his neglect that he is not deeply interestde in you. it would be unwise to put too much faith in what your friend says. He probably spoke well of you and your friend placed too much importance on his words. Keep the ring and pictures a few weeks longer and if you do not hear from him, return them.
